So happy with that, 25 minutes non stop and at a pretty good pace. It was on a treadmill so taking it with pinch of salt haha

I did my fastest mile and my 2nd fastest 2 miles! As a gamer these level ups push me forward!

Anyone else treat excersise and health like a game to push them forward?

I completed w5 d3 on monday and felt really good about it but today's run was weirdly hard. I think because I was doing intervals again rather than a full length run, I found it more difficult to get into a rythem and ended up running faster to make up for the walking.

I also decided to run up and down a pretty steep hill which did not help 😅

Did anyone else find this?

This was my first outdoor run since the heat wave and it was the big step up to 20 minutes non-stop. I am so proud of myself, I felt like I slowed my overall pace down a bit too much but my time wasn't that much worse than my previous runs!

When I started doing this I couldn't run for more than a minute without feeling winded and I just ran for 20 minutes feeling pretty good!

Just did w5 day 1 and it was okay, tiring but okay. I took a peek and the next few days and the 20 minute run on day 3 made my eyes pop out of my head. Like a looney toon.

How did you mentally prepare yourself for that jump?

So I did on outdoor run on my lunch today and I was really not happy with it (it was so hot!), so did another one in the gym 🫢 who even am I haha

Week 4 day 1 kicked my ass. I am sweating so freaking much and I thought I was going to die on the 5 minutes stints. I did not choose the right route at all, very hilly! But I persevered and I think I smashed it!

​

So... to anyone just starting out, just remeber you got this!!

​

​

I stop recording the run during the 5min warm up walks and 5 min warm downs. My pace is much slower this week compared to last week is this normal?

​

Also running outside is so much harder, did anyone else split their runs between treadmill and outdoors?
